I'll bring this up like I do every time his name is in a headline: If you haven't seen Brick, watch it. It's fantastic. One of my favorite movies of all time.
I think it's like an old school Georgian (the US state) accent. I have family from that area that sound exactly like that. I don't have a problem understanding it for that reason but i could totally see not knowing wtf he's saying. Just wanted to say there are indeed people that sound like that in case people thought it was just a British person putting on a bad southern accent.
I get that and I was born in the north but semi raised in the south. And still could not understand him. I thought it was a bit that would be revealed at the end but nope it wasn't And I got netflix and everything and tried to watch glass onion and was still like wtf is this man saying. I thought I was the only one. Thank you brother or sister.
I think you’re projecting your feelings onto him, he doesn’t hate Star Wars, he was just the wrong director for the job of making a middle movie in a trilogy. He’s a great director, and Episode 8 is a good movie in a vacuum. It’s just a terrible movie if you’re trying to bridge Episode 7 and 9.
I wish Disney had just let Abrams direct the whole sequel trilogy and given Rian Johnson a standalone movie like Solo. It’s pretty clear Disney had no fucking clue what they were doing with Star Wars after they acquired it.
I'd never seen a movie that came across as actively hostile towards the supposed intended audience before. And this was before I heard about him dunking on fans on social media. If he really doesn't hate Star Wars, he sure did a good job of pretending to. But hey, it convinced me to never watch either Disney Star Wars or anything else he's done in the future, so expectations successfully subverted, I guess.
To be fair, 7 and 9 were terrible movies to create a middle movie for. 7 didn't really set anything up, it just tore down what was already there. Then 9 took an established story from the EU and pissed on it, then threw it on the big screen.
I probably would despise Star Wars too if I tried to make a good movie in that universe and kept getting micromanaged into the ground at every turn by clueless Disney execs.
He is a very good director, as his other films show. The problem was and still is in no way with him.
Don't know why you got so many downvotes, this douchebag ruined starwars for me. I didn't even see 9 in theatres because he completely ruined luke and everything the OT built.
Im not even going to talk about his skills as a director, he completely misunderstood luke and completely destroyed his character by turning him into an old jaded man.
I can look past anything else he did in that boring movie, but to me luke was starwars so none of it matters anymore.
